All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

Galway are poor. The current manager is not an upgrade on his predecessor

Terribly inconsistent but ya they are probably as good as you say compared to the other teams.

You would swear Offaly are the only team as good as Cork the way some are going on about them. People are confusing having the biggest bandwagon with have the best team.

The gap between Munster and Leinster is massive. Only Kilkenny would have a chance of getting out of Munster.

Poor game. KK in control after first 20 minutes, and never looked in any danger. Galway have plenty to do to come out of Leinster. Massive 2 games for them next. Away to Offaly, should win that and thenchome to Wexford which is an absolute must win.

Semi final tomorrow in Salthill will be at capacity. No county can attract big crowds to both codes.

the fans hardly hate each other??

Feile weekend in Galway so alot of hurling people would be involved with teams, either as parents, coaches or in different support roles. Plus the fixture has history of being a dead rubber.

Hate each others codes I should have said.

The attendance today has fuk all to do with time of year. Leinster is uncompetitive and Kilkenny haven't won an All Ireland in 10 years and are not favourites to change that.

Silly comment by someone who knows nothing about Galway imo. Around Connemara, Tuam, Dunmore and Mountbellew and north Galway in general is all football, while south Galway around Gort, Portumna, Clarinbridge and Adrahan direction is all hurling.

Galway, like Cork, Dublin, Offaly and Clare is a dual county.

Clare is not a dual county. The football team will never excite the masses the way hurling does. It's just a more successful version of Limerick where the west is all football.

If Dublin ready was a dual county Parnell Park would not be the hurlers true home. They have a tiny hurling attendance population wise

It's like saying Kerry is a dual county cause bits of it like hurling.

I remember being at the double header when Galway had Limerick and Dublin the two best teams of their generation and the football crowd only arrived for the football and the hurling crowd stood up en masse and walked out. That is not the behaviour of a dual fan base.

James Skehill wasn't too pleasant about the football era the last few weeks either.

Just a few anecdotal moments in a bigger story.

Team going badly is by far the main reason along with journey time but even going well for such a big county it's known that it's never too hard getting tickets when you play Galway.

I miss summer hurling. The games are too condensed meaning it's difficult for hype to build. Today hurling had to compete with Rugby and Soccer. It takes away focus from the GAA season. Today's game, both teams know it's not do or die, Galway will still probably get out of Leinster and possibly even in a Leinster final. It takes away so much of the jeopardy that it's hard to get excited.
